Moreover, in order to protect the touch panel and the display panel, a cover is generally added to the outermost side of the apparatus. If the trace regions are exposed, an overall appearance of the apparatus is influenced, so that a black ink layer is generally disposed on the cover at a position corresponding to the trace regions to shield the wires. Namely, a central region of the cover (corresponding to an image display region of the display panel) has a transparent design, and the surrounding region of the cover (corresponding to the trace position, i.e. the border of the touch display apparatus) presents a dark color or has an opaque design.

Referring toFIG. 1 , in the present embodiment, thedisplay apparatus 100 a includes adisplay module 200 a and aprotection structure 300 a. Thedisplay module 200 a has animage display region 210 a and atrace disposing region 210 b surrounding theimage display region 210 a. In the present embodiment, thedisplay module 200 a is, for example, aflat display panel 220, where theflat display panel 220 is, for example, a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel, an amorphous silicon LCD panel, a low temperature poly-silicon LCD panel, an organic electro-luminescence display panel, a plasma display panel, an electronic paper display panel, or an electro wetting display panel, though the invention is not limited thereto. - The
protection structure 300 a is disposed on thedisplay module 200 a and includes acover 310, afirst electrode layer 320, asubstrate 330, asecond electrode layer 340 and adisplay medium layer 350 a. In detail, thefirst electrode layer 320 is disposed on thecover 310 and a location of thefirst electrode layer 320 at least shields thetrace disposing region 210 b of thedisplay module 200 a. Thesubstrate 330 is disposed between thecover 310 and thedisplay module 200 a. Thesecond electrode layer 340 is disposed on thesubstrate 330 and thesecond electrode 340 is disposed opposite to thefirst electrode layer 320. A location of thesecond electrode layer 340 at least shields thetrace disposing region 210 b of thedisplay module 200 a. Thedisplay medium layer 350 a is disposed between thefirst electrode layer 320 and thesecond electrode layer 340, and thedisplay medium layer 350 a substantially surrounds theimage display region 210 a of thedisplay module 200 a. It should be noticed that a location of thedisplay medium layer 350 a is at least equal to or slightly greater than a width of thetrace disposing region 210 b. Namely, the location of thedisplay medium layer 350 a completely shields thetrace disposing region 210 b. - In the present embodiment, a material of the
cover 310 is glass or plastic, which is used to guide external light into theprotection structure 300 a. Thesubstrate 330 is, for example, a flexible substrate, and thedisplay medium layer 350 a is, for example, a display ink layer. A material of thesecond electrode layer 340 is, for example, a reflective conductive material, which is used to reflect the light passing through thecover 310 to external of thecover 310. Theprotection structure 300 a of the present embodiment can use the external light reflected by thesecond electrode layer 340 of theprotection structure 300 a as a main light source. Namely, thesecond electrode layer 340 is made of the reflective conductive material. However, in other embodiments, thesecond electrode layer 340 can also be a transparent layer, and theprotection structure 300 a may further include a reflection layer disposed between thesubstrate 330 and thesecond electrode layer 340. How theprotection structure 300 a reflect the external light is not limited by the invention. - Generally, the
substrate 330, thesecond electrode layer 340 on thesubstrate 330 and thedisplay medium layer 350 a are integrally packaged to form an electronic paper display (EPD) film. The EPD film may also include an insulating layer (not shown) located between thesecond electrode layer 340 and thedisplay medium layer 350 a and anadhesive layer 355 used for adhering thefirst electrode layer 320. It should be noticed that arrangement and patterns of the film layers in the EPD film are diversified, and the structure design ofFIG. 1 is only an example, which is not used to limit the invention. Particularly, since thesubstrate 330 is a flexible substrate, an electrophoresis film formed after the packaging can be arbitrarily cut into the required shape so as to fit thetrace disposing region 210 b of thedisplay module 200 a. - Moreover, the
display apparatus 100 a of the present embodiment further includes aflexible circuit board 400 and anoptical adhesive 500. Theflexible circuit board 400 is disposed between thecover 310 and thesubstrate 330, and has two connectingsurfaces first electrode layer 320 and thesecond electrode layer 340. Namely, theflexible circuit board 400 is a double-side circuit board. Theoptical adhesive 500 is filled in a space S encircled by thecover 310, thesubstrate 330 and thedisplay medium layer 350 a. By using theoptical adhesive 500, a display quality of thedisplay module 200 a is not influenced by the space S. - Particularly, the
protection structure 300 a of the present embodiment may further include alight shielding pattern 360, where thelight shielding pattern 360 is disposed on thecover 310, and is at least located between theflexible circuit board 400 and thecover 310. Thelight shielding pattern 360 can be used to shield a configuration position of theflexible circuit board 400, which avails beautifying an appearance of theprotection structure 300 a. Thelight shielding pattern 360 may present a special shape or a mark in an activating state through a special design. Moreover, thelight shielding pattern 360 may also present a frame shape in the activating state. It should be noticed that a width of thelight shielding pattern 360 in a direction parallel to thecover 310 is applicable as long as thelight shielding pattern 360 can shield theflexible circuit board 400. - When an electric field is applied to the
protection structure 300 a, thedisplay medium layer 350 a located between thefirst electrode layer 320 and thesecond electrode layer 340 may have color variations, for example, produce a black and white variation (i.e. a gray level variation). In this way, the region of theprotection structure 300 a corresponding to thetrace disposing region 210 b of thedisplay module 200 a may have an appearance design of color diversity (i.e. the gray level). Therefore, thedisplay apparatus 100 a can arbitrarily change the color displayed by the region of theprotection structure 300 a (i.e. the border of thedisplay apparatus 100 a) corresponding to thetrace disposing region 210 b of thedisplay module 200 a. - It should be noticed that a pattern and a position of the
display module 200 a are not limited by the invention, and although thedisplay module 200 a of the embodiment is implemented by aflat display panel 220, and is disposed adjacent to thesubstrate 330 of theprotection structure 300 a, in other embodiments, referring toFIG. 2 , adisplay module 200 b of adisplay apparatus 100 b can also be composed of atouch device 230, for example, a touch panel, and theflat display panel 220, where the touch device 230 (for example, the touch panel) is disposed between theflat display panel 220 and thesubstrate 330. - Alternatively, referring to

For example, thetouch device 240 includes athird electrode layer 242, afourth electrode layer 244 and amedium layer 246 located between thethird electrode layer 242 and thefourth electrode layer 244. Thethird electrode layer 242 is disposed on thecover 310, and thefourth electrode layer 244 is disposed on thesubstrate 330 and is located opposite to thethird electrode layer 242. Moreover, thetouch device 240 can also be composed of coplanar electrode strings, and thetouch device 240 illustrated inFIG. 3 is only an example, which is not used to limit the structure of thetouch device 240 of the invention. - Moreover, a pattern of the
flexible circuit board 400 is not limited by the invention, although theflexible circuit board 400 of the embodiment is implemented by a double-side circuit board, in other embodiments, referring toFIG. 4 , aflexible circuit board 400 a of adisplay apparatus 100 d can also be a single-side circuit board, namely, theflexible circuit board 400 a has a single connectingsurface 410. In detail, aprotection structure 300 b of thedisplay apparatus 100 d further includes aconductive connection structure 370, which is disposed between thefirst electrode layer 320 and thecover 310.

Thesecond electrode layer 340 can be electrically connected to a part of the pad pins 372 through thesilver adhesive 375. Therefore, signals output from theflexible circuit board 400 a can be transmitted to thesecond electrode layer 340 to achieve color variation of thedisplay medium layer 350 a. The aforementioned electrical connection method is only an example, which is not limited by the invention. - Different embodiments are provided below to describe

protection structure 300 c of the present embodiment has thecolor filter layer 390, when thedisplay medium layer 350 a displays a specific gray level, different color variations can be achieved in collaboration with thecolor filter layer 390, for example, reflection variations of three primary colours of red, green and blue can be achieved. In this way, the region of theprotection structure 300 c corresponding to thetrace disposing region 210 b (referring toFIG. 1 ) of thedisplay module 200 a (referring toFIG. 1 ) has an appearance design of color diversity (colourful), so that the color presented by the border can be arbitrarily changed to satisfy the demand of the user. -
